Middle Avenue Caltrain Crossing Project City Council study session

Published on January 26, 2026

The Menlo Park City Council will discuss the next steps for the Middle Avenue Caltrain Crossing Project at a study session Jan. 27. This project will construct a pedestrian and bicycle undercrossing of the Caltrain railroad near Middle Avenue, connecting Alma Street near Burgess Park to El Camino Real at the open space plaza that is part of Stanford’s Middle Plaza at 500 El Camino Real project.

The crossing will improve connectivity for neighborhoods on both sides of the Caltrain tracks to city amenities, schools, public transit and downtown Menlo Park. Staff will provide an update on the design and construction costs.
